Yep, I see that too. If I remove the asterisks from my $infile it works
fine. Since I am on my third glass of wine, a horrible hack is starting
to sound good. ;-) Can you pass the $infile through sed first and swap
the asterisks with some other character? There must be a slicker way to
do this, but I'm out of creative fuel tonight. I'll try to poke at it
some more tomorrow.
